The
Others (Australia) came about initially as a duo in 1963. Ian
(Nancarrow, founder and still the Pan of rock!) quickly turned
it into an electric combo, joined by Jeff Gurr on bass, who
has never left. Over the decades the band has just about done
everything a band can and should do and still get away with.
Few close calls tho. No bullshit old school rock. Nothing soft
here - this is roots music from a different plantation, played
by guys who were there when the seedlings were first popping
up. At the recent Thredbo Blues Festival we were described
as being "big boy's music" and that kind of sits
ok with us. Still playing, still writing and recording and
still doing it all for the right reasons, we won't be going
anywhere. "Jammed tight and sweating hard, the fevered
throng at the East Coast Blues Festival let The Others know
that it was well worth their long road haul up from Adelaide.
The Odhers' band members are: Ian Nancarrow - Guitars & Harmonica;
Jeff Gurr - Bass; Stevan Korovljev - Guitars; Dave Skull -
Vox; Joff Bateman - Drums. For more info visit: www.myspace.com/theothersoz .

vrijeme" (Active Time, Beograd). Promjenom clanstva grupe,
promijenio se i njihov muzicki stil. Sada je to rhythm & blues
band i nedavno je izdat njihov novi album, "Probaj me" (Hayat

ovog banda, kao i njihove izdavacke kuce, sarajevsjog Hayat
Productiona, je medijska prezentacija tog albuma, koja je u
toku i obuhvata cijelu Bosnu i Hercegovinu, kao i zemlje naseg
